Welcome to Around The Heart and its
counterpart, Around The Heart Daily. Around
The Heart provides the campus current, accurate
news and information in three formats: a daily e-mailed newsletter,
a blog, and a weekly print publication. At www.earlham.edu/aroundtheheart/ you’ll
find the blog with links to the submission
form and this
week’s print issue. Check it
out often to stay connected to the community.

Submission Deadlines

Items submitted in complete form by 11 a.m. each weekday
(except Mondays) appear in the next morning's Around The Heart
Daily and
in the blog.
Entries received on Mondays by 11 a.m. appear in the
blog and in the week's printed issue distributed on Tuesday mornings.

Submission Guidelines

Submissions are accepted, edited and published at the editor's
discretion.

1. Contact Information must be
provided with each submission. The submitter may choose to withhold
personal contact
information from publication,
but public contact information must be made available. The
only exceptions to this are items for Kudos.

2. ONLY
ONE item or event may be submitted
in each form.

3. Choose an appropriate Category for
your item. If an item is not categorized or an incorrect category
is selected, the editor categorizes
it. The categories and their content should be as indicated
below:

Announcements

Content: official
notices of deadlines, actions by campus offices, policies, or hours
of operation. Should include:
the campus entity making the announcement and a contact for further information
for the public.

Events

Content: time, date, place, campus entity or organization sponsoring the
event and contact information Should include: whether
the event is for the campus community, is open to the public or is a Richmond/Wayne
Co. event.

Kudos

Content: announcements or celebrations
of the accomplishments of our outstanding students, faculty, or staff.
Should include: person's full name, title and department if staff or faculty, year and major if a student; a brief description of the accomplishment; the date
(if applicable) and any relevant links for more information. Please spell out all acronyms and give the full title and date of any publications referenced.

Governance Issues

Content: updates on faculty
and college committee agendas, calls for feedback and notices of committee reports. Should include: full name of committee, contact person, Web links to related documents (if appropriate).

Content: items for sale,
housing needed or available, travel needs and lost and found. Should include:
brief description
and contact information.

4. To ensure a high-quality publication,
we cannot run items that are missing essential information, such
as place, time or Contact
Information. When incomplete submissions regarding campus announcements
or events are received, editorial staff replys with a request
for the missing information. We must receive the missing data by
the deadline for
print items in order to publish the item in the desired issue.

5. To help us include as many items as possible, please
keep your submissions brief (about 30 words or less),
limiting information to the “five
Ws:” who, what, where, why and when. The editorial staff shortens
longer items. Our goal is to have no more than 6 pages for the
weekly print edition.

6. To give readers more information, direct them to a Web
Link to any Earlham College-sponsored page. We
include this information URL or link. We cannot be responsible
for including links outside
of Earlham’s
Web Site.

8. All student contact information is protected in online
versions of Around The Heart. If read
from an off-campus computer, readers are required to log
in with their Earlham username to access the personal contact information
associated with
any given
item. In other words, only members of the Earlham community who
have system access are able to see personal contact information
in the online version
of the newsletter. If you are in campus housing on the College
network, you are NOT required to enter a password.

The events calendar included in a printed issue runs
from the date of the issue through 14 days. For example, the
calendar in the Tuesday, September 7 issue lists events from
Tuesday, September 7 through Monday, September 20. This provides
readers the opportunity to plan their activities through two weekends.

The Heart run as follows:

*Repetitions of all submissions and particularly those within
Items of Interest depends upon space needs of the printed
issue and the editor’s judgment. If you wish to have an Item
of Interest run in print more than once, a submission should be sent
each week that you wish it to run.
